@hughlaurie @ianpayn @jan_murray what I liked about your response was, it sounded like you. Which is always nice to hear.

@jsors2020 @d_anton_niess @BritishFonzy @Nyct0phil3_x I guess I have to spell it out for you: That fertilized egg is barely closer to being "you" than separate eggs & sperm are. "You" get constructed over time by the hard factory work of a pregnant woman's body & building materials leached from her blood, bones, & other body parts.

[Arielle Carinbough @ACarinbough]

@WeWuzPostin yeah, and that fact makes you someone who's plunging headfirst into one side of a well worn, tired, and vapid debate

[Arielle Carinbough @ACarinbough]

@WeWuzPostin He never said he couldn't get a handle on the "character." He said he couldn't find a way into writing a Superman story. Thinking about the dog gave him a hook, that's all.

@WeWuzPostin @xbabyfatherx you just rehashing one side of the old argument about whether pop culture is "true art" or not - it's a tired and vapid debate.

@LowriderStudios @PalmyrPar gunn did change cinematographers for man of tomorrow

@jsors2020 @BritishFonzy @d_anton_niess @Nyct0phil3_x yeah, don't you also feel sorry for all those poor eggs that every month were allowed to just die without anyone even trying to fertilize them - all those kids who could've been lived full and fulfilling lives ruthlessly killed 😉

@rowdyburns1978 @LegoKingo "as it's written" 😂😂😂

@Franciso7vuq @scoobEdont MAID is a human right

@AvocatduJv @RealEmirHan @Vermillon999 Maybe it's because I was an English major, but I feel like it's fun that you can validly interpret a line or a scene two different ways, and a lot of times when a story is well told, that's part of the fun it provides.

[Arielle Carinbough @ACarinbough]

@AvocatduJv @RealEmirHan @Vermillon999 The way he analyzed it was that Bond *experiences* killing someone three times, not that he "kills three times." And I think that's valid. I just think that the "considerably" lands better if we think of the second guy as the second kill.

[Arielle Carinbough @ACarinbough]

@rowdyburns1978 @dsosarod @ThomasonTown you're so worked up about this that you sound like you're just envious you didn't think of it first. 😂

[Arielle Carinbough @ACarinbough]

@AvocatduJv @RealEmirHan @Vermillon999 I think both interpretations are equally plausible. That kind of complexity is to be expected in such a good movie.

[Arielle Carinbough @ACarinbough]

@rob_grey @theraullua @blahblahme75 @RealEmirHan I agree "considerably" lands more like a punchline if the second guy is thought of as the second kill. At the same time, the first guy having to be killed twice makes the best sense as an intentional set up for the interpretation that those were his first two kill experiences.

@cremieuxrecueil @staysaasy Environments with higher resources and predictability trigger humans (& other animals) to slow down reproduction & invest deeply in a few children. In harsh/impoverished environments people have more children because survival per child is a gamble.

@KylePFlynn1 @Dinolil11 @transgoblin0v0 @fakehistoryhunt @ohyessratii Exactly. Regions with the most diarrhea deaths are also where people eat with their hands more. Stating that fact is not the same as claiming that eating with your hands causes diarrhea death. And it's relevant evidence even though it's not conclusive evidence of causation.

@VeryGayToucan @ianbremmer @dclange @War_Tech915 yes, for example, if you talk about your last Will and Testament. I just dictated the previous sentence and it automatically capitalized the words "will" and "testament."

[Arielle Carinbough @ACarinbough]

@dclange @VeryGayToucan @ianbremmer @War_Tech915 well, try dictating a tweet and you'll see that it's how automated speech recognition transcribes what you say

[Arielle Carinbough @ACarinbough]

@VeryGayToucan @ianbremmer @dclange @War_Tech915 All of those punctuation choices, including the lack of initial caps and the capitalization of "intelligence," can be explained by what the Automatic Speech Recognition program does by default when someone is dictating a tweet.
